JDM Coilovers

Cusco, Buddy Club, Mugen, etc. - what mods need to be done to make them work on a USDM Fit?

Thanks!

OK, lets try another approach - who has Cusco, Buddy Club or Mugen coilovers installed on their Fit? How do you like them? Any difficulties getting them installed?

hi sbt,
are you familiar with custom valving of dampers?

The only difference between JDM coilover setups is that JDM uses 17mm bolts on the front and USDM uses 19mm. I learned this when I got an unmodified set of mugen sports suspension and had to take em to my neighbors drill press and spend an extra 10 minutes modding them. Its super easy to make them fit and if you even have a beginner set of tools you could do it with a dewalt and the proper size drill bit and a little elbow grease . Oh, and a HUGE thanks to the guys at Panducky Motorsports for staying a little late and helping me out over chat. Thanks guys, saved me!

I am not, just looking for a quality product that will allow me to adjust height and stiffness.
